Letter to Prospective Students
UNF's MPH Program equips students with a broad understanding of the core
areas of public health.
MPH graduates will be able to integrate and apply this knowledge to address
public health problems, and will possess skills and competencies necessary
for public health practice. The program focuses on factors that influence
population health including socioeconomic conditions, cultural beliefs
and practices, behavioral risk factors and environmental exposures and
host factors. The MPH degree is appropriate for those who want to pursue
careers in health programs in a wide range of public and private institutions.
The MPH program is aligned with the Core Competencies for Public Health
Professionals as defined by the Council on Linkages between Academic and
Public Health Practice.
At the completion of this degree program, students are eligible to take
the national examination for certification in health education (Certified
Health Education Specialist). The CHES title is awarded to those who have
met the standards of quality established by the National Commission for
Health Education Credentialing Inc (NCHEC). The MPH program is aligned
with the 10 graduate competencies put forth by NCHEC. Students are encouraged
to become members of the UNF student chapter of the Florida Association
of Professional Health Educators, and to apply for membership in Eta Sigma
Gamma, a national Health Education Honorary.
